I bought the black stubby antenna from www.socalhhrs.com, it looks much, much better then the fishing pole antenna that came on the HHR. Now I don't know how well the reception is but it's well worth it I think, $15 shipped.

I guess because you had pics in your thread a mod thought it should go here, kinda funny how some stay in the General HHR section while other's end up here...I guess I'll have to check this part forum more offen.

 

The chrome stubby is actually for a VW Jetta. got it on ebay. It looks great! Got one on mine and just got the one for my wife's.

With all the chrome on the car, I couldn't see adding more black than there already is.

 

Sweet. I'll have to check around. You mention that you can't see adding more black to the car, the funny thing is, I wish the HHR stripe was black. It's silver and nothing else on the car is silver. At least the black stripe would match the thing on the front bumper, antenna, window moldings, etc...

 

I don't mind the color of the strip as much as its modern look, I would have preferred something more retro,

 

Well, it takes a while to learn your way around here. Don't forget, the search engine is your friend! That is a good looking HHR and a nice looking truck! That's a compliment coming from a die-hard Chevy fan. My HHR and my Silverado extended cab are the same color too, Sandstone. And the sweetie has a Silverstone Suburban. They look great all parked beside each other. Congrats on the baby on the way! Remember, when the Queen is happy, everyone is happy!
